politics in the united states notwithstanding. i would have issued or had authorized my public affairs staff to issue a similar statement for what essentially was a demonstration and try to calm things without knowledge, of course, how this violence was going to break out next door in libya. listen, i can't put myself in the shoes of the ambassador of egypt. i don't know what exactly she knew or didn't know at the time when the statement was issued. the fact of the matter is there is obviously question over whether it was cleared with washington at the state department but the fact of the matter is at the time it was a reasonable statement. >> ambassador, what do you make of the news that egyptian police abandoned the posts and allowed the mob to do what they wanted to do there? does it appear it's sanctioned on a higher level? >> i'm deeply concerned of the replication of president morsi's willingness to play politics with the united states and other foreign governments while he tries to play his own game of politics with the mus

it's the united states in general. in the past decade -- in the decade since 9/11, and the sense we've engaged in two military interventions. there's a deep fear about a third war when it deals with iran's nuclear program. there's a sense that the united states' intentions, whether because of oil or territorial ambitions or because of our relationship with israel, that our intentions may not always be positive. that's the suspicion that colors attitudes towards the united states. >> robin, you're talking about sort of post-9/11 there. the promise or pro terrible that obama or his supporters put out there this is a turning point in the post-9/11 relationship of the united states to the muslim and arab world. since 2009 how do you think things have gone? >> well, he initially got a bump after his election and after the first of three speeches in turkey and indonesia as well. there's been a sense -- a decline in key muslim countries, particularly in the middle east. you know, the suspicions are not going away, and there's

that is one big concern right now, there maybe homegrown extremists located in the united states who may have no prior direct connections to a terrorist group but are going to see this and decide this is a good time to act. this is a good reason to act. this is a good impetus to act. >> nguywe know that al qaeda dr to moments chaos to revive themselves, especially areas where it's perceived the u.s. is somewhat weak. as we're slated to withdraw from afghanistan, do you think it's fair to say that post-withdrawal afghanistan will be a prime location for al qaeda to set up shop again. >> that's part of the problem with afghanistan and withdrawing from afghanistan. al qaeda historically looks for power vacuums to thrive. they look for places where there's absent central control, and we've cena in north africa and somalia and afghanistan and pakistan. that's the big dilemma, if we withdraw our military presence in afghanistan how does that affect vis-a-vis tack stan and afghanistan? they leapfrog back and for. do they leapfrog back from pakistan into afghanistan. >> when you talk about c
